Psalm 27
is our Psalm for the Penitenital Season, recited morning and evening from the 1st of Elul until Shmini Atzeret
לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ יְהֹוָ֤ה ׀ אוֹרִ֣י וְ֭יִשְׁעִי מִמִּ֣י אִירָ֑א יְהֹוָ֥ה מָעוֹז־חַ֝יַּ֗י מִמִּ֥י אֶפְחָֽד׃
Of David.The LORD is my light and my help;whom should I fear?The LORD is the stronghold of my life,whom should I dread?
בִּקְרֹ֤ב עָלַ֨י ׀ מְרֵעִים֮ לֶאֱכֹ֢ל אֶת־בְּשָׂ֫רִ֥י צָרַ֣י וְאֹיְבַ֣י לִ֑י הֵ֖מָּה כָשְׁל֣וּ וְנָפָֽלוּ׃
When evil men assail meto devour my flesh-a—it is they, my foes and my enemies,who stumble and fall.
אִם־תַּחֲנֶ֬ה עָלַ֨י ׀ מַחֲנֶה֮ לֹא־יִירָ֢א לִ֫בִּ֥י אִם־תָּק֣וּם עָ֭לַי מִלְחָמָ֑ה בְּ֝זֹ֗את אֲנִ֣י בוֹטֵֽחַ׃
Should an army besiege me,my heart would have no fear;should war beset me,still would I be confident.
אַחַ֤ת ׀ שָׁאַ֣לְתִּי מֵֽאֵת־יְהֹוָה֮ אוֹתָ֢הּ אֲבַ֫קֵּ֥שׁ שִׁבְתִּ֣י בְּבֵית־יְ֭הֹוָה כׇּל־יְמֵ֣י חַיַּ֑י לַחֲז֥וֹת בְּנֹעַם־יְ֝הֹוָ֗ה וּלְבַקֵּ֥ר בְּהֵֽיכָלֽוֹ׃
One thing I ask of the LORD,only that do I seek:to live in the house of the LORDall the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD,to frequent-b His temple.
כִּ֤י יִצְפְּנֵ֨נִי ׀ בְּסֻכֹּה֮ בְּי֢וֹם רָ֫עָ֥ה יַ֭סְתִּרֵנִי בְּסֵ֣תֶר אׇהֳל֑וֹ בְּ֝צ֗וּר יְרוֹמְמֵֽנִי׃
He will shelter me in His pavilionon an evil day,grant me the protection of His tent,raise me high upon a rock.
וְעַתָּ֨ה יָר֪וּם רֹאשִׁ֡י עַ֤ל אֹיְבַ֬י סְֽבִיבוֹתַ֗י וְאֶזְבְּחָ֣ה בְ֭אׇהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵ֣י תְרוּעָ֑ה אָשִׁ֥ירָה וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה לַֽיהֹוָֽה׃
Now is my head highover my enemies round about;I sacrifice in His tent with shouts of joy,singing and chanting a hymn to the LORD.
שְׁמַע־יְהֹוָ֖ה קוֹלִ֥י אֶקְרָ֗א וְחׇנֵּ֥נִי וַֽעֲנֵֽנִי׃
Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;have mercy on me, answer me.
לְךָ֤ ׀ אָמַ֣ר לִ֭בִּי בַּקְּשׁ֣וּ פָנָ֑י אֶת־פָּנֶ֖יךָ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ׃
In Your behalf-b my heart says:“Seek My face!”O LORD, I seek Your face.
אַל־תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨יךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי֮ אַ֥ל תַּט־בְּאַ֗ף עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ עֶזְרָתִ֥י הָיִ֑יתָ אַֽל־תִּטְּשֵׁ֥נִי וְאַל־תַּ֝עַזְבֵ֗נִי אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽי׃
Do not hide Your face from me;do not thrust aside Your servant in anger;You have ever been my help.Do not forsake me, do not abandon me,O God, my deliverer.
כִּֽי־אָבִ֣י וְאִמִּ֣י עֲזָב֑וּנִי וַֽיהֹוָ֣ה יַאַסְפֵֽנִי׃
Though my father and mother abandon me,the LORD will take me in.
ה֤וֹרֵ֥נִי יְהֹוָ֗ה דַּ֫רְכֶּ֥ךָ וּ֭נְחֵנִי בְּאֹ֣רַח מִישׁ֑וֹר לְ֝מַ֗עַן שֽׁוֹרְרָֽי׃
Show me Your way, O LORD,and lead me on a level pathbecause of my watchful foes.
אַֽל־תִּ֭תְּנֵנִי בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ צָרָ֑י כִּ֥י קָמוּ־בִ֥י עֵדֵי־שֶׁ֝֗קֶר וִיפֵ֥חַ חָמָֽס׃
Do not subject me to the will of my foes,for false witnesses and unjust accusershave appeared against me.
לׅׄוּׅׄלֵׅ֗ׄאׅׄ הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי לִרְא֥וֹת בְּֽטוּב־יְהֹוָ֗ה בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּֽים׃
Had I not the assurancethat I would enjoy the goodness of the LORDin the land of the living…
קַוֵּ֗ה אֶל־יְ֫הֹוָ֥ה חֲ֭זַק וְיַאֲמֵ֣ץ לִבֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝קַוֵּ֗ה אֶל־יְהֹוָֽה׃ {פ}
Look to the LORD;be strong and of good courage!O look to the LORD!

Parashat Nitzavim-Vayeilech 5784 / פָּרָשַׁת נִצָּבִים־וַיֵּלֶךְ
28 September 2024 / 25 Elul 5784
Torah Portion: Deuteronomy 29:9-31:30
In Nitzavim (“Standing”), Moses addresses the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of following God’s covenant and of not worshiping other gods. He describes the process of repentance and returning to God, and stresses that God’s commandments are achievable and “not in the heavens.” Vayeilech (“He Went”) opens as Moses tells the Israelites that he will not lead them into the Land of Israel, and that Joshua will take over. He instructs the Israelites to gather and read Torah publicly every seven years. At God’s command, Moses writes a poem bearing witness to God’s covenant with the Israelites. [1]
Commentary and Divrei Torah

We will meet as scheduled next Thursday, September 19, on Zoom at 7:30, continuing with selections from the Biblical book, Proverbs. The Word file we’ve prepared, “Selections from Proverbs, is attached. We will begin in Chapter 6; selections from Chapter 6 begin on page 5 of the attachment.
Here’s a link to all of Proverbs if you would like to look at it:
Because of the re-scheduled Board meeting on the 25th, and the subsequent Jewish holidays which occupy Thursday evenings until November, this coming Thursday will probably be the last class for a while. (Though we could also hold a class on the Thursday before Yom Kippur, October 10, if enough people thought that was an OK date).
This Thursday, I doubt that we will finish the selections. Our plan is nevertheless, near the end of this Thursday’s class, to skip to the last chapter, Chapter 31, so we can at least briefly discuss one of the best-known passages in Proverbs, the so-called “Woman of Valor” (Eshet Chayil).
We plan to end class this Thursday by deciding whether to go back to study more of Proverbs when we next meet (in November), or whether instead we should devote our next meeting to “What shall we study next?” Please join us and weigh in on this question!

Leil Selichot 2024 / סליחות 5784
Service: Saturday, September 28 @ 7:00pm
Prayers for forgiveness in preparation for the High Holidays 🕍
Leil Selichot for Hebrew Year 5784 occurs after nightfall on Saturday, 28 September 2024.
Selichot or slichot (Hebrew: סליחות) are Jewish penitential poems and prayers, especially those said in the period leading up to the High Holidays, and on Fast Days. In the Ashkenazic tradition, it begins on the Saturday night before Rosh Hashanah. If, however, the first day of Rosh Hashanah falls on Monday or Tuesday, Selichot are said beginning the Saturday night prior to ensure that Selichot are recited at least four times.
